It is no secret that life is becoming more and more complex. There was a time when many social scientists believed that technology was going to help us lead better, simpler, more fulfilled lives. Well, a walk down any street or through any shopping mall in the world will prove otherwise. Technology has made things more hectic rather than less.

I’m not here to say that technology is bad. I am saying that technology used wrongly is bad. As I write this I think of the person who is always on their cell phone, speeding down the road, drinking their gallon-sized coffee. I’m also reminded of the “advancements” in modern medicine. People going to see a doctor, trusting in technology and science, and ending up in worst shape.

That is not the way life was meant to be lived. We were not put on this earth to live a stress-filled life only to die 20 years to soon. We were not meant to let our life wiz by. We are not supposed to get so overwhelmed that it becomes almost impossible to enjoy the simple things that matter most. We should be living happy, useful lives growing spiritually and accomplishing God’s plan and will for our lives.

The only way to begin this is to stop trusting in yourself. Admit that your life is unmanageable or that it soon will be if you stay on the present course. This is a difficult process but once it is done you will begin to see changes immediately. Your life will begin to change and you will become happier and more fulfilled.
